What sets the S2C83A apart from the MSA 2070 models is what ships inside: this HPE MSA 2072 16Gb Fibre Channel SFF hybrid-flash storage array comes with two factory-integrated 1.92 TB Read Intensive SFF SSDs and one MSA Data Services license. The 2U chassis has 24 SFF bays.
The license brings performance tiering, 512 snapshots with volume copy, and Remote Snap replication, and HDDs and SSDs can share one system. Two controllers provide eight 16 Gb Fibre Channel host ports; SFPs are not included, and a 4-pack such as the C8R24B MSA 16Gb Short Wave Fibre Channel SFP+ 4-pack is the minimum.
Also in the box are two redundant 580W AC power supplies, two 1.5 m PDU cords (IEC C14) and a rack-mount kit. Drive options cover all HDD and SSD types except self-encrypting ones, with up to nine enclosures attached by 12 Gb SAS.
Cache is 48 GB per array. HPE ProLiant DL and ML servers are compatible, and HPE SPOCK sets the pairing for other HPE servers by OS and HBA. Further arrays await in the HPE storage system category.
